Problem Solving-"Ranking The Task" & "One Step at a Time"

The first problem solving method that I tried was Ranking the Task. Overall I think that this method was very effective and forced me to do the more important tasks before the less important ones or the ones that were due at a later date. This method helped me alot because when looking at all of the different things that I needed to complete for my math class it overwhelmed me, but once I ranked each item by its importance and thought about when it needed to be completed by, it made everything on my list alot more organized. And once I started finishing tasks, my list started to seem alot more doable for me to accomplish.


The next problem solving method that I chose to try was the "One Step at a Time" method. I think this was also a good solution to trying to fix a problem that is going on in my life. It forced me to look at the consequences of my problem and forced me to think about what action I needed to execute in order to achieving a solutiton for my issue.
